“Quite frankly, families are spending far too much time and money in our courts. Those families, who because of delay become more entrenched, more vulnerable and more stressed while they remain in our court.”

Employment Dispute Mediation assists employers and employees in resolving workplace conflicts such as termination disputes, discrimination claims, contract issues, or breakdowns in professional relationships. It is a confidential and voluntary process where a neutral mediator facilitates structured discussions to help both parties reach a practical, mutually acceptable resolution without the cost, delay, and stress of formal legal proceedings. 

The consequences of unresolved workplace conflict can result in

• Increased absenteeism
• Reduced productivity
• Increased turnover
• Overall lower morale

Potential disputes include but are not limited to:

• Disagreements over unfair dismissal or termination
• Conflicts regarding workplace discrimination or harassment
• Disputes over unpaid wages, entitlements, or superannuation
• Misunderstandings or breaches of employment contracts
• Tension between colleagues or teams affecting productivity
• Conflicts arising from workplace restructuring or redundancies
• Communication breakdowns between management and staff
• Performance management disagreements
• Need to maintain confidentiality while resolving workplace issues
• Avoiding costly, lengthy, and stressful court or tribunal proceedings

Myth #1

Employment mediation opens more problems.

Actually, the exact opposite is true. Mediation can often avoid costly lawsuits  and damage to your reputation. Mediation is “behind-closed-doors” vs a public court appearance. Mediation is confidential.  

Myth #2

Mediation is not needed,
“I am right.”

The only thing worse than thinking you are “right”, is betting that a judge or  jury will agree with you. In a court appearance you don’t have an unlimited amount of time to state your case and convince a jury. In mediation, the parties are in control of how the dispute is resolved.

Myth #3

The case will
never settle.

Actually, every case will be resolved…in some way, at some point. The questions are: How long do you really want this to drag on? How much money do you want to spend? And what is the toll on you? Hire our team to help  you get to a resolution as quickly as possible.
